We are looking to buy a polarizing filter for our Leica
stereomicroscope that we use to observe crystals. However, I am a
little confused about the types of filters that are available from
photography stores; specifically there are "linear" and "circular"
polarizers. I would guess that what I need is a linear polarizing
filter that can rotate, though these are harder to find than the
circular polarizers that seem to be more common for general
photography. Any advice? Thanks,
Terje
